Is your laundry detergent helping deer see you more easily?

I always used baking soda no detergent ever !

It's real. And it does matter. If you've ever had a deer pick you off from upwind and no apparent reason, it's probably because you looked like a glowing neon sign to them.

Normal laundry detergent has brighteners in it. Don't use it. Baking soda or special hunting detergent is the way to go.

How much baking soda do you put in the washer?

 

[Patrick H]

I use 1 cup of baking soda

This is why I don't wear clothes when I'm hunting

I never leave my American flag speedo at home and I always wash it in Brighteners.

Tide has never let me down, seriously. Its just a deer, its not that hard to kill them

So what you are saying is: "Roll Tide"?

 

[backyardtndeer]

Yep, they can definitely see clothes washed with detergents that have brightness. Baking soda works well, so do a couple commercial deer hunting detergents.
